iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum that vacuums and mops vacuum isn't too scared to climb the stairs, unlike other models. However, just like any mop and vacuum it could get blocked by the stray tennis shoes or ribbons and play jewelry, yarn, or other stray objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to deal with spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it should clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use, and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot did not try to cross the rug, even though I moved it around many times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank, which can be easily removed and filled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also utilizes the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.
